Subject: Announce: Mr. XML Publisher for DocBook


Announcing Mr. XML Publisher for DocBook, a free DocBook XML publishing 
service at http://swhitlat.com/XML_Publisher/

The Mr. XML Publisher for DocBook website accepts uploaded DocBook XML 
projects and returns output formatted with DocBook XSL. 
  * Returns HTML, PDF, HTML Help, Java Help, Man Pages, Eclipse Help, etc. 
  * Can use uploaded XSL customization layers
  * Uses a project's graphics 
  * Can include content from relational databases and/or native XML databases

Browser
  * IE6, IE7, or FireFox 2.0.x. Untested with other browsers.
  * Allow JavaScript, Cookies, and XMLHTTPRequests. 
  * Enable a Java plugin compatible with Sun's JRE 1.6.0 (or higher) 
    and accept the signed applet. The applet reads your DocBook project's 
    XML and creates a zip archive of the project for uploading.

Project
  * Must be a DocBook XML project containing valid DocBook XML.
  * All project files must reside in a single directory, or a 
    subdirectory thereof. 
  * To use an XSL customization layer, it must be in a file named the 
    same as the project's main XML file, but with a ".xsl" extension. 
  * To import DocBook XSL located on the server, use the paths listed in 
    the "Use these paths" link available from the online Help.
  * To include XML pulled from a database, follow the instructions listed 
    in the "additional instructions" link available from the online Help.

Mr. XML Publisher for DocBook is an implementation-specific version of my 
commercial application, Mr. XML Publisher, which is a more generalized web 
app for publishing XML. Detailed information on Mr. XML Publisher is at:
http://swhitlat.com/XML_Publisher.html 

The Mr. XML Publisher for DocBook website is new. It works great on a gigabit 
LAN, but it has not been tested under heavy-load conditions that might occur 
on the Internet. Specifically, although pulling content from relational 
databases and/or native XML databases works great on a LAN, I'm not yet sure 
how that will turn out over the Internet. You will need to be cautious with 
respect to security and pre-solve firewall issues at your local site.
